A new Louisiana law requires sex offenders and child predators to state their criminal status on their Facebook or other social networking page, with the law's author saying the bill is the first of its kind in the nation.

HOW WILL THEY ENFORCE THIS?

[TubOppomo]

This is simply another worthless, bullshit law.........

Because:

1) Sex offenders should already be dead, and dead people have no need of the interwebz, or social networking.
2) Sex offenders NOT dead, should be locked up in prison, and prisoners have no need of the interwebz or social networking.
3) Sex offenders NOT already caught, aren't going to list their status as 'sex offender'.

Can we please get back to some degree of common sense here?

This is simple stuff really.......If you fuck a little kid, you should die. End of story.

I think it's bullshit, but before you guys flame me for saying that, let me explain why. I think the same thing about convicted felons not being allowed to own firearms.

When a criminal gets out of prison he's supposed to have paid his debt to society in full. If lawmakers don't think these people can be trusted to behave, then they need to come up with stiffer penalties for them. If the debt they paid wasn't enough, then the law needs to be changed to something more effective. The notion that sexual predators can somehow be rehabilitated is fantasy land, liberal bullshit, and in my view they should be executed. These pissant half measures are pointless and they don't even address, much less solve, the fucking problem.
These people are either menaces to society and don't belong at all or they're full, respectable citizens. There is no in between. The law needs to be adjusted to accommodate this reality.

Great it will keep the honest offenders honest. All the rest will use fake names.

I agree on the firearms issue scorp. 100%.

The constitution makes NO allowance for exclusion of felons. And stiffer penalties are clearly needed as well.

This is a bullshit law.....and will help NOTHING. It will save zero kids from being molested. It will prevent zero rapes.

It will simply create more paperwork and departments to soak up tax dollars.

It's a waste.

no. not realy. its a step in the right direction about getting the pedos out of the communities and under the ground sooner.

That's what I was thinking..

If we can't trust these guys running loose? Why are they loose?

If we can never trust them? Then we should just kill them.

RECIDIVISM RATES?

[rxnixoncom]

There are states (unless it has been ruled unconstitutional) that judge sex offenders as mentally ill and lock them in the state laughing academy until they are no longer a danger to themselves or others.

[Saad Khan]

..... I agree with punching the ticket of sex criminals .....

..... their ride on the planet should be over .....

..... but ..... until we start doing that .....

..... forcing them to announce themselves .....

..... is better than letting them "blend in" .....

[RemiVedia]

Speaking of sex offenders........why isn't common sense here screaming about this?

That's what I thought.

These networks are international. Supposing some paedo from another country chooses not to comply.

Nothing can be done.

RECIDIVISM RATES?

I've seen them calculated at extremely low, and extremely high levels, depending on the study.

Far as I'm concerned, it's all academic, at least as far as crimes against children go. Death penalty. Period.

Caveat: We shouldn't be labeling some "sex offenders" as sex offenders. Some guy on a jobsite taking a piss beside his truck is not trying to show his weenie to the chillun, but they can be prosecuted under the same laws.
